|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2005 | Flash Flood | Colorado Spgs | 2 killed, $100,000 | A severe thunderstorm moved south across the eastern side of Colorado Springs, causing copious amounts of hail and heavy rain. Two teenage boys were in a drainage culvert on Cottonwood Creek near Woodmen Road and Austin Bluffs Parkway, when the wave of water hit, and both drowned. Farther south, near the Citadel Mall, poor drainage caused a 3 to 4 foot deep lake to develop with massive amounts of hail pouring into the deep water. Several vehicles were stranded and dozens of rescues took place. Some motorists and passengers suffered minor hypothermia in the icy cold water. Still farther south, the pavement on a bridge on Airport Road over Spring Creek was damaged by high, fast moving water. |

| May 2001 | Tornado (F2) | Ellicott | 5 hurt, $100,000 | A slow moving supercell thunderstorm stayed over the Ellicott area of eastern El Paso county for over an hour on Memorial Day evening. For over an hour, heavy rain and large hail pelted the area. Then another thunderstorm cell merged with the supercell, causing a brief time of extreme winds and three small tornadoes. A large mesocyclone developed, and the extreme winds rotated around its northeastern quarter. All of the debris from the damaged structures was moved to the west-northwest or west. Straight-line and twisting microburst winds, in some areas causing F2 damage, damaged or destroyed nearly 100 mobile homes, many occupied. Embedded within these winds, three tornadoes occurred. One, rated F2, struck the junior-senior high school building, totally destroying nearly one half of the structure. That tornado lifted briefly and set down again about 3/4 of a mile northwest of the school building and destroyed several mobile homes. Another tornado, rated F1, occurred about one mile west of the school building, flipping a mobile home. |
